CAS 112-16-3: Lauroyl chloride

Stability Moisture Sensitive Applications Lauroyl Chloride (cas# 112-16-3) is a compound useful in organic synthesis. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package

Applications Lauroyl Chloride-d3 is an intermediate used in the synthesis of Lauroyl-d3-L-carnitine Hydrochloride (L178683), which is the labeled analogue of Lauroyl-L-carnitine Hydrochloride (L178680), a long-chain fatty ester of carnitine which is accumulated and released into the circulation, in fatty-acid oxidation defects. Pattern of Lauroyl-L-carnitine can be diagnostic for a number of ß-oxidation defects.

Lauroyl chloride is used as tailoring agent for chemical modification of nanocelluloses of different length, nanofibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals and in the preparation of acylated collagen with water solubility and better surface activity. It is also employed as organic low-friction boundary lubricant in the preparation of novel polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel.It is used in the synthesis of hemicellulose-based hydrophobic biomaterials.

Lauroyl chloride is a hydroxyl containing organic acid that can react with sodium carbonate to form ester hydrochloride. This reaction is used to convert the hydroxyl group into an ester group in organic chemistry. Lauroyl chloride has been shown to have skin cancer inhibiting effects, as well as thermal expansion and phosphorus pentoxide solubility properties. It has also been shown to scavenge anion radicals in a model system and is used for preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC). The chemical lauroyl chloride is also used for the preparation of amides and water vapor.
